There was no single source. Margaret Hamilton used it entirely unbidden by that application to describe what she was doing for the Apollo missions.
I've worked with dozens and dozens of mechanical, electrical, optical, and environmental engineers as well as scientists and you are literally the first person I've ever spoken to who has given any shits about this.
I mean I have met run-of-the-mill web devs and Java coders that call themselves "software engineers" so the term is abused too much to bother giving many graces.
Yeah I again don't really see any issue with that nor have any of my colleagues expressed any concern over that whatsoever. It's sort of like getting mad at the number of deans in American colleges like yes, there's a sort of title spam happening there, but it's irrelevant because who gives a fuck

okay I concede it's silly of me to be pedantic with someone who does softwares in such a multi-disciplinary implementation
I mean if that's the case aren't you still risking being pedantic with others without knowing what they do?
